Sauces in Chinese

To follow up on my last post about spices, here are some of the most common sauces used in Chinese cooking! This is an even broader category than spices, so forgive me if I've left out your favorite, but these basics should do the trick to help you understand recipe videos and even fill out your own Chinese pantry.

醬油 (jiàngyóu): soy sauce

生抽 (shēngchōu): light soy sauce - This is the basic soy sauce that is used to season dishes all across China.

老抽 (lǎochōu): dark soy sauce - This darker, more deeply-flavored soy sauce is used in small quantities to add color to dishes.

醋 (cù): vinegar

白醋 (báicù): white vinegar - The same distilled vinegar you'll see in American supermarkets.

米醋 (mǐcù): rice vinegar - This can refer to the basic clear rice vinegar that you'll also see in Japanese cuisine, and also be used as a catch-all term for the other rice-based vinegars listed below.

香醋 (xiāngcù): black vinegar - A dark-colored vinegar made from fermented sticky rice. 鎮江香醋 is a famous variety.

老醋 (lǎocù)/陳醋 (chéncù): mature vinegar - These words can refer to various types of aged vinegars.

料酒 (liàojiǔ): cooking wine

米酒 (mǐjiǔ): rice wine - All of the wines in this list can be drank as well as cooked with, but be warned that if you're in the U.S. most of what you'll find will not be high enough quality to drink (or to use in recipes where wine is the main focus).

黃酒 (huángjiǔ): yellow rice/millet wine - Similarly to other types of wine, there are many varieties of yellow wine and different ways to describe the taste.

紹興酒 (shàoxīngjiǔ): Shaoxing wine - The most common wine called for in Chinese recipes (in the US), this is a type of 黃酒.

白酒 (báijiǔ): baijiu - China's most famous hard liquor can also be used for curing and preserving foods.

玫瑰露酒 (méiguilùjiǔ): rose wine - Another hard liquor that is flavored with rose and used in Cantonese cooking.

油 (yóu): oil

香油 (xiāngyóu): sesame oil - The most popular seasoning oil in Chinese cooking.

菜子油 (càizǐyóu): rapeseed oil - A cooking oil used in Sichuan cuisine with a pungent, mustardy flavor. It's very hard to import into the U.S. but god am I waiting for my Asian grocery store to get some.

花椒油 (huājiàoyóu): Sichuan peppercorn oil - An neutral oil infused with Sichuan peppercorn used to finish certain Sichuan dishes.

辣椒油 (làjiāoyóu): chili oil - A delicious and spicy condiment made by pouring hot oil, potentially seasoned with spices and aromatics, over chili flakes.

紅油 (hóngyóu): red oil, chili oil - Often, but not always, connotates the oil itself without the "sediment" (chili flakes that gather at the bottom).

油潑辣子 (yóupōlàzi): chili oil - Another term for chili oil, this one faring from Shaanxi.

油辣椒 (yóulàjiāo): chili crisp - This is a Guizhou style chili oil made iconic by 老乾媽. It can be a more straightforward chili oil or have add-ins like peanuts, fried tofu or fermented vegetables (get the 三丁 flavor!).

蠔油 (háoyóu): oyster sauce - Pretty common in the U.S. because of the long history of Cantonese immigration here.

魚露 (yúlù): fish sauce - Fish sauce is more famous for its use in Southeast Asian cooking, but is also popular in Fujian cuisine.

蝦醬 (xiājiàng): salted shrimp paste - This is a Cantonese ingredient made of ground-up fermented shrimp.

甜麵醬 (tiánmiànjiàng): sweet bean/wheat sauce - This sauce is often translated as "sweat bean sauce", but it's really made from fermented wheat flour! It's used in many recipes for Beijing's famous zhajiang noodles, though its inclusion is controversial.

豆瓣醬 (dòubànjiàng): fermented soybean paste - This sweetish paste is similar to 甜麵醬, but is actually made out of beans!

辣豆瓣醬 (làdòubànjiàng): spicy fermented bean paste - This iconic Sichuan condiment is confusingly often referred to as 豆瓣醬. Unlike that smooth paste, 辣豆瓣醬 is a spicy, chunky paste made of chilis and beans.

海鮮醬 (hǎixiānjiàng): hoisin sauce - Despite literally translating to "seafood sauce", this sauce has no seafood in it, nor is it served with seafood. It's based on fermented bean sauce with other seasonings and is a popular dipping sauce in Cantonese and American Chinese cuisine.

柱侯醬 (zhùhóujiàng): chee hou sauce - Another Cantonese fermented bean-based sauce, this one has different seasonings from hoisin and is used in braises and stews.

XO醬 (XO jiàng): XO sauce - XO sauce is a luxurious sauce invented in Hong Kong in the '80s containing aromatics, dried seafood, ham and other pricy ingredients.

沙茶醬 (shāchájiàng): shacha sauce/Chinese satay sauce - This sauce is distantly related to but very different from Southeast Asian satay sauce. It's made with dried seafood, aromatics and chilies and popular in Fujian, Teochow and Taiwanese cuisine (and makes an excellent hot pot dipping sauce!).

芝麻醬 (zhīmajiàng): sesame paste - This thick paste is similar to tahini but made with roasted sesame seeds, and is the base for sesame noodle sauce.

豆豉醬 (dòuchǐjiàng): black bean sauce - This sauce is made of fermented black soybeans and garlic and is popular with clams and beef.

蘇梅醬 (sūméijiàng): plum sauce - This sauce is made with salted plums and is similar to duck sauce. It can be used for dipping sauces and glazed meats.

叉燒醬 (chāshāojiàng): char siu sauce -This is the sauce used to flavor Cantonese char siu barbecue pork.

ancient greek words for colors:

On the whole, the Greeks were not really concerned with giving names to specific colors. Their color terms were vague, often had more to do with shade than color difference, and drew in a sort of dynamic physicality that is honestly incredibly interesting.

μέλας and λευκός, which were commonly used to refer to black and white respectively, were still more involved with shade than the particular colors that we perceive as black and white. μέλας also meant dark, murky, and swarthy. λευκός was light, bright and clear, referred to any white color from a pure white to a light grey, and could also refer to someone with lighter skin.

χλωρός meant pale green or greenish yellow, but also commonly meant pale or pallid when referring to people and fresh or blooming when referring to plants and liquids (including blood and tears).

πορφύρεος is where we get the color term purple. And when it was referring to clothes or things, it did mean purple. But when it was describing people, especially their complexions, it meant bright red or flushed. This definition originates from the basic meaning of the word: heaving, surging, gushing, coming from the verb πορφύρω.

ξανθός and ἐρυθρός are perhaps the only straightforward terms, meaning yellow or golden and red respectively. ξανθός was typically used to describe blonde (ish) people; Achilles is described as having ξανθή κόμη (golden hair).

γλαυκός was commonly used to refer to the color grey, or simply to describe something as gleaming. When it refers to eyes, it usually describes the color; the most famous example being Athena and her epithet of γλαυκῶπις or grey-eyed (or gleaming eyed).

And now let's talk about κυάνεος. We get the color term cyan from it, and the word is popularly considered to refer to a dark blue. But that isn't exactly accurate. If we look at what this word typically described: hair, people, etc., it is clear that the concept of blue that we have nowadays wasn’t really coming into play. In fact, the more general translation is dark or black, conveying a shade rather than a color, like μέλας. If I were to attribute a color term to this word at all, I would probably say blue-black, or a cool black, to convey the depth of that shade, which is probably what the Greeks were describing.

[trans-cuchulainn]

things that have helped me make progress with irish lately:

attending a conversation group regularly where i'm forced to cobble together grammatically incorrect sentences and therefore learn how to make less incorrect ones, in real time, without spending five minutes teanglanning everything

reading books without looking up every word i don't know, using context and guesswork and breaking down words into their constituent parts to puzzle them out but otherwise not letting any single sentence delay me too long -- if i don't understand it, i charge ahead and often the next sentence clarifies it anyway, building my confidence and helping me recognise more unfamiliar sentence structures

complaining about shit in irish on my sideblog that has like 5 followers, which takes away the anxiety of "but i have to get it RIGHT" and makes me think about how to re-word a sentence if i don't know the structure i wanted, so i can use simple phrases to say more complicated things

the general theme here is: stop agonising over correctness and be willing to make mistakes; stop looking up every single thing and get creative talking around a word or grammatical construct i don't know instead; use the language instead of just studying the language
